Last Sunday evening, a very severe thunderstorm hit the Wickenburg area. We were at home at the time and the winds and rain felt to us like hurricane strength. We had a lot of erosion damage to the RV drive along with a lot of sand and small rocks runoff out back. No structural damage to either the house or the trailer, but we did lose a plum tree (snapped off at the base) in the courtyard and a recently installed ocotillo out front was knocked down, but was re-planted by the landscape crew this afternoon.
This is one of several covered wagons in town, all of which sustained damage. One covered wagon at the other end of town from this one had been blown over. Numerous canopies and business signs were damaged. One business a quarter mile from our house lost it’s roof; the debris blocked US 60 in front of the business until crews got it cleaned up.

Good to hear you guys made it through OK.
That’s just AZ telling you stay out of the ‘stan!
Despite the t’storm incident, we did manage to make it out to the ‘Stan for a couple of very busy days. Plumbing fixed at the old house and visited Damsel’s Mom and family.
The new truck is awesome.
